PREGNANCY

Adoption, Abortion, Parenting

Pregnancy Options Workbook: Helps the reader work through various feelings about her unintended pregnancy and what option could be right for her.

Planned Parenthood: Basic outline of pregnancy – how it occurs, when to take a test, what options you have, etc.

CPC Watch: Crisis Pregnancy Centers are places that advertise ‘free’ counseling and pregnancy tests, but are usually ran by volunteers who seek to lure in women who may be considering abortion so they may lie, trick, and scare the woman into keeping the pregnancy whether she wants to or not. These are NOT medical clinics. This page tracks known fake clinics, so women don’t accidentally end up visiting one.

Abortion Clinics: To find an abortion clinic or abortion doctor near you. If you’re not yet sure what option you’ll choose, many abortion clinics (including the one I volunteer for) will provide you with counseling about ALL THREE of your options, not just abortion. They may also have an established direct relationship with an adoption agency.

Adoption: Outlines every adoption issue possible, including closed vs. open adoption and what rights, if any, a birth parent will have if an open adoption agreement isn’t kept by the adoptive parent(s). Remember that an adoption counselor/advocate should be just as much YOUR advocate as they are for the adoptive parent(s).

WIC: Pregnant, but low-income? If you’re considering parenting but need financial help, this page will tell you how to get that help. Women, Infants & Children is the federal program that provides state grants to feed low-income mothers and their children under 5 years of age.
